Video games to improve mobility after a stroke
(FECYT - Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology) A joint research by the Basque research center BCBL and the London Imperial College reveals that, after a cerebral infarction, injuries in areas that control attention also cause motility problems. The authors propose to complement physiotherapy with another type of cognitive training, such as video games.

A Real World Evidence Model To Compare Direct Oral Anticoagulants Safety Outcomes For Atrial Fibrillation Patients In Spain
In the last 10 years, different treatments for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (SPAF) have been launched in Spain. However, little is known about clinical outcomes and cost associated to patient events in real world practice. The aim of this model is to assist in the decision making of treatment selection based on the risk of a patient having an event.

Outcomes measured by mortality rates, quality of life and degree of autonomy in the first year in stroke units in Spain
Conclusions: There has been a change in the prognosis for stroke in Spain in recent years as the quality of life at 1 year observed in our study is clearly higher than that obtained in other Spanish studies conducted previously. Moreover, survival and functional outcome have also improved following the introduction of a new model of care. These results clearly promote extension of the model based on stroke units and reinforced rehabilitation to the majority of the more than 100,000 strokes that occur annually in Spain.
